No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, rehearsing answers to basic questions, like "why UIC, why you wanna be a doc" (but i didn't get asked either of those).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

It was in Rockford, so i liked the fact that the class is only 40 students, and that there are no residents filtering med students from attendings. Rockford is really cheap.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

facilities are old, barely have an ethics class, no real campus feeling, have to take a HUGE coarse load in M1 year at Chambana, and there is no 24hr study space. the library closes at 10pm.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Well, it was one interview that was supposed to be scheduled for 25 minutes, which is really really shory. i had two MDs and a MIV interviewing me, all at the same time. One MD looked like she did not want to be there at all, and even asked me what undergrad institution i was from; clearly she had not read anything from my application. The other MD was a bit more prepared, but it was the student that asked most of the questions. They all seemed fairly stone-faced and not very welcoming. Don't know if they meant to be that way. The interviewee before me said she experienced everything that I just said above, so it wasn't just my interview.
